I13DT: Thirsty Like the Wolf

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 4:30 pm

((open thread))

Murphy had recently returned from wandering around the continent, and after unpacking she headed to the bar to get a drink. She looked as wild as ever, she even had dirt and leaves in her hair and appeared to be wearing clothes that she had made herself, but now she had more muscle and had gained a nice tan from her time visiting her mother in Africa.

She ordered a beer by pointing. Her social skills had not improved.

"Murphy?" a familiar voice came up from behind her.

Steph had a rough day, so she was self-medicating with something that smelled very, very strong.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 4:55 pm

"Steph." Murphy acknowledged with a nod.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 4:58 pm

"Oh my gosh. I was starting to wonder if you were going to ever come back," she smiled. "Mind some company?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 5:05 pm

"No." Murphy glances at a seat next to her and then takes a drink of beer.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 5:10 pm

Steph took the seat. "So...how was your...walkabout?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 5:19 pm

"Good," Murphy says. "You?"

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 5:42 pm

Stephanie shrugged, "been here the whole time. Take that for what it's worth. You missed getting swapped into a different body for a week...the Phoenix is back on campus...at least one attack on the school."

"You know, typical stuff for us," she smirked into her drink.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 5:46 pm

"Fun."

Murphy looks at Steph, for a moment it looks like she's sizing her up.

"Okay?"

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 5:52 pm

"No one drinking 151 on the rocks with a splash of coke is okay," she smirked.

"Rough day...not sure I'm cut out for being the power control teacher. I completely lost it. I was unprofessional, and said a number of things I really, really regret."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 5:54 pm

Murphy snorts, obviously indicating with her body language that the kids probably deserved it.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 5:59 pm

"Maybe," she said, still used to Murphy's mono- or non-syllabic responses.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 6:44 pm

"Consequences," Murphy says. She shrugs. Then she roughly pats Steph on the shoulder.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 7:51 pm

"Think you'll stay around for a while? Haven't had a good hunting partner in a while."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 8:12 pm

"Probably," Murphy says. "Tired."

She sighs.

"Missed this."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 8:20 pm

"We missed you," she said raising her glass for a toast.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 8:22 pm

Murphy smiled a bit awkwardly. She knocked her glass against Steph's, and then drained the whole beer in one swift motion.

"Another," Murphy told the bartender.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 8:38 pm

Steph did the same with her considerably stronger drink and winced a bit.

"Did you catch up with your family like you wanted to?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 8:41 pm

"Yes."

Murphy shook her head. She looked amused.

"They're good."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 8:49 pm

"Good," she smiled as the bartender warily regarded her during his pour of the second drink "I'll be fine, don't worry."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 8:51 pm

Murphy raised an eyebrow at this.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 8:56 pm

After the bartender left Steph smirked, "this is number four for me actually. I think he's afraid they'll need to call the medics."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 8:59 pm

Murphy laughs, "I'll drag you home."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 9:03 pm

"It takes a lot to get me drunk. You know this," she laughed.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 9:04 pm

"Challenge?" Murphy asks.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 11, 2014 9:06 pm

"Was it?" she asked with a mischievous grin.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 11, 2014 9:53 pm

"Could drink you under the table."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon May 12, 2014 12:38 am

"Let's go then," she grinned rebelliously. "You've got some catching up to do if you're only drinking beer."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Mon May 12, 2014 1:45 am

Murphy ordered four shots and downed them all in quick succession. Let it never be said that she took a handicap in a drinking contest.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon May 12, 2014 2:00 am

Steph laughed, "Well alright then...guess I need to finish this and we'll be even."

She gulped down her remaining drink. "Okay. Pick your poison."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Mon May 12, 2014 2:11 am

"Two mampoer," Murphy tells the bartender. He raises an eyebrow, but pours two shots of what smells like everclear mixed with gasoline.

Murphy lifts a glass, "Cheers."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Mon May 12, 2014 11:51 am

Stephanie downs the shot after toasting and her eye twitched a bit.

"Okay. That tasted like it was brewed in the backwoods of Tennessee during prohibition," she finally.

"Let's give you a taste of Chicago. Two shots of Jeppson's Malört

((because a bar in Maldon is certain to have it...shut up. also no clue what that URL isn't working))

by **Hannah Murphy** » Mon May 12, 2014 3:13 pm

Murphy downs it and sticks out her tongue like a dog that just ate something they didn't like. "Bitter."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat May 17, 2014 9:52 am

Steph grinned. "You just spent months in the wild and you're wussing out over a little bitterness? Amateur!"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat May 17, 2014 1:35 pm

Murphy growls lightheartedly, before ordering a couple of Four Horseman's.

She was also starting to look a bit more wolfish. Her ears pointed slightly and her teeth had become noticeably sharper.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat May 17, 2014 4:21 pm

"Your wolf is showing. Don't scare the locals," she smirked, though her own eyes had taken on a feral yellow hue themselves

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat May 17, 2014 5:03 pm

"'m fine," Murphy says. "'ll be careful."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sat May 17, 2014 10:03 pm

She flashed a toothy smile (revealing she wasn't being much better about suppressing her wolf) "atta girl."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun May 18, 2014 2:37 am

"Didn't need control in woods," Murphy says. "Out of practice."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Sun May 18, 2014 11:27 am

"I remember--I spent 3 or 4 months up in the Canadian backwoods before I came started university. It was...an adjustment."
